That's what I meant by usb page. Thanks, but there is no alesis product
to be found there. Too bad :/
It's out of this race then.
Ok thanks for the help,
the list of competitors is:
Edirol UA-25
Alesis IO|2 (in case it has drivers)
Tascam US-122L (in case it doesn't cause firmware troubles)
Now it shouldn't be too hard to find the one that suits best

Hallo,

Thanks, it looks good. I looked at it previously but hadn't seen the
midi and discarded it.
Most don't qualify because I want a mic in
without needing a preamp
and midi as well.
I think, the UA-25 has preamps and phantom power. I haven't
found the Alesis IO/2 on the usb or the alsa page,
For USB cards, you're better off with the qbik.ch page. but it looks
nice. Others my search has turned up: tascam us-122l
(http://www.tascam.com/details;9,15,69,14.html) and terratec phase
26
(http://www.terratecproducer.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&fi…)
which has only a jack connection for the mic..
The Phase 26 doesn't have preamps or phantom power for mics, you'd
need to use condenser mics with it. It's still a great card, though, I
have it myself. And careful with the Tascams. Some of these require
firmware to be
loaded, so make sure that's included with your live Linux CD/stick.
Uh, ok, thanks for the warning. I'll try to find some more info on that.
They
aren't the cheapest but around 200 is still fine for me and I'm
gonna get me one and give the whole thing a try if I can decide on
one.
The Phase 26 can be bought without the MS-Windows software for much
less (a wellknown large mailorder in Europe has it for 129,- and the
Alesis IO|2 for 139,-)
Ciao
